Things that make my day instantly better

Inspired my this post over at Martha Writes, I've decided to create my own list of things that make my day instantly better.

• Hugs, kisses, cuddles and snuggles
• Having the exact change when paying for something at the shops
• Receiving mail... any type... email, little notes, especially surprise letters in the snail mail!
• counting down the days until Christmas
• smiling at strangers
• taking photos of anything
• spending some time with the laptop and my favourite blogs
• hearing someone say they love me
• loud praise and worship music
• someone else cooking me a meal
• a great coffee
• going to bed with fresh sheets
• sunny days
• being welcomed at the door by my sweet cat, Sandy
• the unconditional love of children
• surprise little gifts from loved ones
• being Auntie Beck to Coops and Ty and an 'honorary' one to several other sweeties!
• sitting with old friends, when words aren't necessary
• when kids at school 'get it' and learn something new
• trying a new recipe and it being fantastic (especially if it was easy!)
• bunches of flowers
• chatting with far away friends for free on Skype
• laughing until I cry
• the simple life
• decluttering
• a hot shower when you've come in cold
• the dentist telling you that there's nothing to be done! :)
• giving or receiving a compliment
• the smell of fresh baked bread
• a great summer thunder storm
• holidays
• reading in a hammock
• winning a prize
• driving with the windows wide open, singing loudly to the radio
• walking through a beautiful garden and taking in the natural beauty
• sniffing fressias 
• waking up for the first time and realising that you've still got lots more time to sleep
• poaching an egg and it coming out perfectly runny :)
• baby animals
• going for a great horse ride- galloping on the beach
• scrapbooking 
• being creative

I'm sure that there are more things to add, but this is just the start. 

What makes your day better?.
